Who were they recovered from? Is anyone being held accountable and punishable?
ReplyDeleteSo who is guilty and being punished?
ReplyDeleteGood progress. Does this mean the past govt were chronic looters of the the national coffers?
ReplyDeleteBetter to recover all that is possible, then jail only those who have squandered or refuse to return their ill-gotten wealth. If govt prosecutes people who are voluntarily returning money, then others will simply flee the country or accept jail rather than lose more money + jail. God bless Naija
ReplyDeleteMoney meant to check desertification of the North was diverted by the some Northerners! What a shame. We know the idiots. I hope Buhari will bring them to book. Where is APC?
